MINDFUL CARD SETS
Having the right resources at the tips of your fingertips can a treasure for educators and parents. These card decks are just that! If you are looking for just one to start with, the Mindful Games Activity Card Set by Susan Kaiser Greenland is my usual first recommendation as a great place to start for any age.

ADULT READING

It starts with you

For the most powerful impact, mindfulness in the classroom or home first starts with you. Can you imagine teaching reading to your children, but you aren't a reader yourself? The same goes with mindfulness practice. It all starts with you. ​

​The following are books that I have found useful in my personal journey. What is amazing is that most were recommended by someone who was also exploring mindfulness and developing a stronger self-awareness. Listen to your tribe - there is much wisdom in their words.

Self-Awareness for YOU


Mindfulness in the Classroom

BOOKS FOR KIDS

"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child."

- Dr. Seuss

Recommended read aloud books for the introduction of mindfulness.
Reading is timeless. And what is even more amazing is that picture books can be enjoyed at any age, too. Don't believe me? I didn't either until grad school when I took a course on Picture Books for All Ages. Our professor started and ended each class with a read aloud. There was not one distracted student in the room. He pulled our energy right into the story. He may not have realized the lasting impact that it made on me - and I would imagine many others - but from the class on, I never looked at picture books the same again. That is why I am sharing my favorite picture books that introduce the concept of mindfulness to children. Many of my personal favorites are written by authors who have additional books out that teach about mindfulness and various social emotional topics (such as I Am Peace, I Am Human and I Am Yoga by Susan Verde). The first 3 recommendations are more for the younger crowd (ages 2-7), but the others can be adapted to any age. Happy reading!
